If you\u2019re dealing with <a href=\"https:\/\/collincountyent.com\/allergist\/sinusitis\/\">chronic sinusitis<\/a>, you\u2019re not alone. This condition affects around 30 million Americans each year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If medication doesn\u2019t relieve your symptoms or you\u2019re interested in a long-term solution, surgery to enlarge the sinus cavities is another potential option. This relieves symptoms by opening your sinus openings to improve drainage and increase airflow. One way of achieving this is the Propel implant, which is one of the sinus surgeries we offer at Collin County ENT.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/collincountyent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/woman-with-propel-sinus-implant.jpg\" alt=\"Woman in profile in an outdoor setting.
